This site is dedicated to collectors of the Robert OlszewskiDisneyland Main Street Miniatures. It offers collectors several suggestions for attractive ways to display their pieces on the Main Street Platform and ideas for making those improvements with a minimum of effort.

The moment I saw the first prototype Main Street Platform in the Disneyland Gallery I immediately recognized the vision, passion, and genius of Robert Olszewski.His attention to detail and unbelievably accurate reproductions were breathtaking.I knew that I had to have a Main Street of my own someday.

Like most collectors, I’m neither an artist nor a hobbyist (or website designer for that matter) so this project was challenging.Mr. Olszewski explains that this collection requires us to “change from being a collector and cross over to becoming a hobbyist” and that “by the time the track is in place and the train is operational you will have developed a high comfort level in working with the platform and most importantly, grasping a sense of ownership”.

Finally, Olszewski says “We have given you the start, where you take from here will be up to you”. I think that last statement is what makes the Main Street series unique among collectables. The collectors are encouraged to add our own ideas to the platforms for how to best present the pieces for an overall compelling effect. This site includes a few of those ideas that other collectors might find interesting.
